)Reasons For Granting,
The property is a semi detached dwelling located on Bedford Road in Marston Moreteyne. The proposal consists of a single storey side extension, measuring a width of 4.8m, a depth of 5.9m, and a pitched roof measuring 2.5m a the eaves, and 4.2m at its highest point. Additionally, the proposal would contain two rooflights set into the roofslope.
Furthermore, the demolition of an existing workshop would be replaced by a rear extension to connect to the proposed side extension, and would measure a width of 4.5m, a depth of 5m and flat roof measuring 2.9m.
An existing bay window and front door would be removed, and replaced with a front door and a new front porch, protruding 1.5m from the principal elevation and a highest point of 3m.
The proposed front porch and side extension would be visible from the streetscene of Bedford Road, as due to the property being located on a corner plot, the proposals would be within a highly visible location of the streetscene.
It is noted that Bedford Road contains a mixture of patterns and styles across its streetscene, and that the proposed side extension and front alterations would not be at odds with the grain of development as seen within the vicinity of the application site,
Overall, the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
Although the application site is a corner plot, it proposed side extension would be built to the boundary with an access to an adjacent neighbour to the rear of the application site (138A Bedford Road). Additionally, the proposed rear extension would also be built to the boundary with this adjacent neighbour.
However, the proposals would face the access and the front garden of this neighbour, and would not overlook any built form on the adjacent neighbouring site.
Therefore, it is considered that these proposals would not have a detrimental loss of light,loss of privacy or overbearing impact on this adjacent neighbour.
The proposed side and rear extensions would be partially obscured from the other adjacent neighbour (142 Bedford Road) by the bulk of the main dwellinghouse. Additionally, the rear extension would be notably separated from this adjacent neighbour (12.2m approx.) and therefore would not have any significant material impacts on this adjacent neighbour.
All other properties are considered sufficiently separated from the application site for there to be any material impacts.
Marston Moreteyne Parish Council were consulted on this application, and raised no objection to the proposal. Additionally, an Ecology Officer was also consulted on this application and similarly raised no objection, however raised that it is the responsibility of the contractor to check for bats.
This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were raised.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal would lead to any material impacts on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties, and would no have any detrimental impacts on the character and appearance of the surrounding streetscene. The proposal is therefore in accordance with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.Reasons For Granting,

)Will a new extension affect your Council Tax Charge?
The rate of Council Tax you pay depends on which valuation band your home is placed in. This is determined by the market value of your home as at 1 April 1991.
Your property's Council Tax band may change if the property is extended. The Council Tax band will only change when a relevant transaction takes place. For example, if you sell your property after extending it, the new owner may have to pay a higher band of Council Tax.
If however you add an annexe to your property, the Valuation Office Agency may decide that the annexe should be banded separately for Council Tax. If this happens, you will have to start paying Council Tax for the annexe as soon as it is completed. If the annexe is occupied by a relative of the residents of the main dwelling, it may qualify for a Council Tax discount or exemption. Contact the Council for advice on 0300 300 8306.
